I hatelove this game
So as of now, out first ever episode of "Consider the Following" has received over 793 views. I for one am overwhelmed and thankful for the support and positive feedback. I know the rest of us feel exactly the same.

Episode 2 was going to be out much sooner but work had my nuts this week so my time was limited (I am sorry everyone...all my fault). This said...I am proud to announce episode 2 of "Konsider the following".

Last weeks vote was on the name of the show and the vote was in favor of consider the following! With some trash talk and some super fancy work from @Eric Z19 , we now have new graphics and a new spelling (with a K). Tell us and Eric what you think by tagging him thousands of times.

This weeks episode is full of blowups...will YOU get blown up? Oh yea...I hate hosting and I hate the sound of my voice...lol

Only listened to the first 30 minutes. Here are some thoughts on the best scene's.

Best Scene is GGA. GBS is the most consistent and quality stream that exists in the NRS community. From the announcing, to how smooth the tournament is run, the youtube channel with all the streamed games recorded, the blow ups, announcements, jokes, salt, the seasons and rankings, the connection with the stream chat and many other reasons that I can't list off the top of my head.

As for Domination this is where I don't agree with the panelists. No one can take away from from Theo's dominance or Kdz's Evo championship. But overall quality of players, GGA gets the nod again in my books. Major tourney winner, two top 8 placers at Evo (with not so top tier characters) I couldn't even guess how many top 8 finishes GGA has combined, but my assumption is that it's more than any other scene (don't quote me on that). Not to mention @GGA Saucy Jack who just won Naptown Clutch IV. GGA also has some of the best character representation out there. Very few can argue that 16 bit isn't the best CW, that PPJ isn't the best HG, that Max isn't the best Bane, that Panty Christ wasn't the best Joker.

One subject you guys didn't discuss is the up and coming scene's. If I had to name one that I tune into regularly that I enjoy and who also have some excellent players, it would be BLTB. @Blind_Ducky @Everlast @Rage Malarkey @Captain Oxygen (who was there for awhile) @daddydab32ho @Forbidden_Donut @Ninequads93 along with some other players I'm sure I'm missing, have a very exciting stream, with some high quality play. Sleeping on them would be a mistake.

Going to bed now. I look forward to listening to the rest tomorrow. Shoutouts to you guys from running this podcast.

Trust me, I'm a doctor
Ouch. My pride.
Also I never said "Oh its gotta be +15 forever, no one question it."

I said "I can't imagine it being more than that." since people were having mental breakdowns about it giving everyone a full 50/50 option on every combo. I was basing it off of how it looked in comparison to Bane's double punch speed (16 frames). Jeez.

And then when 16 bit said I was wrong on stuff, I openly admitted my knowledge is very limited in comparison, and told people to take his side with way more weight. Then I pulled down my Ferra/Torr brief look (which had no mention of frames) because I was worried I got more stuff wrong.

Loved the "DID HEE? DIIIIIIID HEEEEEE REALLLLLY?"


Jeez. >_>
Still, I like the attention, and just watch. The game is gonna drop, the frame data will be +15, and I'll be like
"Frame data? Feh. Found it in November."

I'll just have to wait until next time... for now I'll take that Saucy Smackdown.
@GGA Saucy Jack , I've got my eye on you. >_>

@AK L0rdoftheFLY you shouldn't hate the sound of your voice it's actually a pleasant voice to listen to man. Another good podcast, good humour and the serious points are nice to listen to also. Great show all round man, you guys all have voices that are smooth and nice to listen to (no homo). Keep up the good work guys, good shit yet again!
 
Thank you for this podcast and I found it interesting to hear the other side of the argument on the variation lock. I have always thought we should reward the character specialist and allow the winner to change their variation but after hearing the other side I am not so sure anymore. I actually don't know the right answer. I have lots of questions.

Do we want to reward the character specialist or the counter-picker?
Do we want a hype stream or do we want to reward tournament players who train hard?
If character variations only change 2 specials is it really that big of a deal one way or the other?
Will forcing character variation lock create more 7-3's or make less of them?

I know the above question are not necessarily mutually exclusive but I will have to defer to other's opinions because now I am not so sure.

I want hype streams because no one, not even the most traveled tournament player, can make every tournament. But we should also reward the people who travel and train hard. I originally thought we should reward the character specialist but after thinking I also realized that it is a lot of work to have a good alt character to take you far in a tournament especially since our scene has leveled up so much since the beginning of MK9.

Taking into account the above 4 questions I actually now realize that the last question is the most important. Whichever decisions makes more 5-5's and 6-4 match ups is the way we should go. 7-3's are bad for everyone. But which choice makes the tournament more fair? Character variation or not? I have no idea.

Here is the only thing I know for sure.

-If the loser wants to hit rematch then it must be an exact rematch.
